How A-maze-ing

Homecoming is a celebration of pride and tradition, and as UIS continues to grow tremendously, so do these aspects of the university.

Last year was the first year UIS had a parade complete with homecoming floats, and the Student Life office anticipates growing more and more each year. This year's homecoming, held Oct. 1 through Oct. 6, is right around the corner, and there are a variety of activities planned for next week's celebration.

The week kicks off with a bonfire and pep rally at the UIS pond on Monday. Other events during the week include the Ultimate Entrepreneurship Challenge, the Student vs. Alumni basketball game, decorating contests, alumni events, family lunches, Homecoming dance and parade and more.

If you can't make one of the events, check out the story and videos that will be on the Web site following the event.
